..swapping wheels - will I notice?

..before I get my hands dirty and knuckles scraped swapping cassettes, any thoughts on this?
I've got a pair of Aksiums with Michelin Krylion 25mms on what is now the winter bike and the stock DT Swiss 3's and whatever tyres (espoir?) on my 5 week old Spesh Roubaix....
...do you reckon I'll notice a benefit if I swap the Aksiums over to the new bike?
cheers..

However get some nice tyres on and you'll see a much bigger difference. I recently wore out my winter tyres and stuck last summers race tyres on as a stop gap and bloody hell everything feels so much smoother.
update..
..so as a half way house ( and as my son had reclaimed his bike with my Aksiums on it!), I fitted a pair of Michelin Pro4 Service Course......wow, big difference indeed! I'm going to have to revert to all the review cliches..( fast rolling, easy to spin up to speed etc)..but I'm genuinely surprised at the noticeable improvements even I can discern - I'd kind of assumed all these thing you read in reviews don't apply to ordinary cyclists!..
...here's an example....you know when you're cruising along on the flat at a good sustainable pace, just in the right gear and cadence to bowl along nicely...then you either hit the smallest of inclines, or just lose concentration or take a drink, and find yourself off the pace and having to push just for 5 or 6 revolutions to get back up to speed...well that's when I really noticed it...felt effortless and almost instant response compared to before...
..so there we go, one rabbit in a euphoric state! ..next stop, a set of hand-builts for the summer....
Carbon, of course...
